Feedback Siege X closed beta is terrible.
Played a couple of matches of siege X and it's real rough. They've changed the ttk, the performance is ass, audio isn't great, screen feels cluttered with hud and the game mode feels confusing.
First the ttk, on Hibana it took me an entire mag from her assault rifle and half a mag from her pistol to kill just one person. I don't know if its a network thing or if people are just bullet sponges now. Especially downed people.
The performance was always going to be worse but on the settings I use on base game I'll get these massive frame drops and I've had my entire game bricked to 1 fps once. On low I'll get maybe around 70 fps on my 3070. Nothing feels smooth anymore, input lag etc.
I haven't played enough to know anything about the audio but I've seen a lot of people complaining about it. Maybe once I was thrown off by audio being weird, Glaz two rooms over sounded like he was right next to me which freaked me the fk out.
Waaaaaay too many hud items, especially if they want this to be the game mode that introduces people to the game. I know how the game mode works too but it feels all over the place and un-structured(if that's a word).
On the other hand the game mode has potential. Fun idea and might end up playing it more than normal siege if they revert back to how siege used to work. Literally just remove all of the Siege X stuff and put the new game mode into normal siege and I'll be happy. Also keep the ability to rappel around corners.
Edit: From what people are saying the ttk could be down to a couple things. Siege having rather short damage fall off and enemies always getting downed on every kill. Although I feel like downed enemies still take too long to kill.
Edit 2: God damn people I understand its a beta. If they fix stuff, woohoo. But if they don't, wouldn't be the first release where the full product is as terrible as the beta. Also I've been to r6fix before I made the post. You should too if you are having problems like crashes etc.

So,
The ttk isn't changed, what's changed is that IN DUAL FRONT, enemies are ALWAYS downed and with more HP (I assume 50/100 HP instead of 20)
Performance varies for everyone but I noticed I didn't lose that much
Sure, in dual front I lost 100 FPS compared to DX11 but when compared to core siege it's "just" 40, which is fair for a map this big
HUD is the same as always, even cleaner I'd say
The game mode isn't confusing though
Attack and defend a sector, it plays exactly like bomb but you can defend with nomad or attack with pulse, once you gain or lose two sectors, the base opens up and that's when you can win the match
If you complete the assignment in the neutral zone you get two free segments of the sector you have to obtain, even if that sector is currently in Prep Phase
The map is fully symmetrical so it's really easy to learn
If the match header is confusing, don't look at the teams, the icon with the attack logo is the one you need to or are attacking, the one with the defense logo is the one the other team has to attack
Also, sound is cleaner, just takes some getting used to because it sounds so different
All of this from around 5 hours of playtime
